Even when Hailie says that she can’t find her mom, Eminem ignores her request. But Eminem fails to realize the severity of this request. Hailie doesn’t want Em to go again leaving her and her mom alone. In the first verse of “When I’m Gone,” Eminem talks about an encounter with his daughter right before he takes off to Sweden for a concert. It is not an exaggeration when Eminem introduces the song as his own real-life in his own words. “Gone” could imply being physically away and being dead. Eminem consoles his daughter by saying that even from afar, he is always looking down at her. However, the song is an address to Hailie Mathers to never doubt that her father left her, even when he is not around. My second passion is to be out there to just rap in front of that many people, but you gotta decide what’s more important, and right now there’s nothing more important than my family.” Eminem spoke about this in the interview with Mojo “I realise that I had to leave my home for the stage. The Stans keep on demanding for more Slim Shady. But he is Eminem, Marshall Mathers, even worse, Slim Shady. At this juncture of his life, he has to make a choice, or at least strike a balance between the two. This song speaks about Eminem’s dilemma between his two callings in life.
